, I was invited to the Niger Delta Area of Nigeria, I profited from the free ride to do some negotiations, while there, had some cups of chat with the militants.
I have worked extensively in Conflict zones in other countries but never in Nigeria, but While Visiting the Niger Delta Area of Nigeria I was able to use my networking skills to seek out some of the rebels and dialogue with them,
The Pictures below shows some of the few I encountered.
The First one here is Called Field Marshal, He controls the Ihiala/ Azia zones and beside is a video demonstrating to me by him and his cohorts that he meant they meant business and are ready to fire at any second.
They are ready to laid down their arms and engage in some other trade or means of livelihood, but the question is, who Will buy him a motorbike, or a Carpentry work kit? A complete mini tool box would cost a minimum of 600 USD For only One Person
On a non violent note; Ililo Chukwu Azu ( Lilobabay) is a 22 year old paraplegic , girl who has never sat, crawled walk or ever fed herself or been to school. She has a very strong attraction for visitors and very good in remembering discussions and resolving arguments for clients who buy drinks from her grand Mother where she lays on the floor on a mat perpetually. With the stick stock in between her fingers, she drives away the chicken that comes to peck on her. At first sight, one gets the impression ILILO is deaf and dumb, but a word of salutation to her could attract a very good discussion. She is very happy with life and has expressed the desire to go to school. She has asked what school would be best for her, and how could she make it to school?
Could you help us find solution to this thought provoking question?
A specialized wheel chair to help her sit up neck high would be our first request for her, Then A little bit of surgery to help her sit on a wheel chair would be the second, My third request would be how to help her get some education, at least to make her fit into the life stream of activities in her community, She would be very good in attracting friend to push her in her wheel chair if we can help get one hence she is very lively and warm heart. In fact she is a darling of this village Community, Can you help us find any help from anywhere? What would you like to donate? A specialized wheel Chair? Fund a special Surgery or her education?
